Surprisingly good. Nice rave-up at the end, and Jerry's fills throughout are genuinely great.

Spacey, atonal version. Shows where they were headed in 95 - a lot of interesting sounds.

Cool version that Jerry starts and the band jumps on while Bob works out some gear issues. Last one ever, first in years, and only electric version.

Very powerful vocals from Jerry. Beyond intense "I guess it doesn't matter anyway"

Last version. Not perfect, but especially soulful. There's a nice new video up on youtube and jerry's very animated.

Perfect summer version for sure. Just sweet.

Was about to come say what Grendel had already said. Cynically, Jerry's definitely trying to save a song that he fully whiffed by giving it a vocal reprise (which is pretty nice, sure), but there are multiple other HUGE ones from 94 and this one doesn't deserve to be so high. 3/21 and 8/1 are legitimately stunning, and both have much stronger playing as well as even bigger vocal reprises. Overrated as hell.

major outro. Very well played and solid dew from a great year for em. Jerry absolutely shreds. Great drumming especially in the mid solo.
